We returned to the barn jam tonight in Awendaw, SC. Nikki was part of a songwriter-in-the-round segment. Closing out the night was our friends
Megan Jean and the KFB

Great night at Palm Coast Coffee in St. Simons Island, GA. We have a long drive back to NC so we stopped off at the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Hardeeville, SC.

Scenes From Saint Simon's Island

We're spending the day on the beach at St Simons Island, Georgia. I've been trying my hand at this whole iphoneography thing, or in my case, androidphoneography.

Raccoons

We spent a couple of nights at Ft. DeSoto Park in Tierra Verde, Fl, and I can honestly say that this is one of the nicest parks I've ever been to. We ended up getting a waterfront campsite that looks out on the Gulf Intercoastal Waterway. We got in around 11am on Monday and tooled around the area little bit, taking in the awesome views and eventually making some dinner.

By nightfall a slightly Hitchcock-esque experience unfolded as raccoons began to have the run of the place. These guys were not afraid of humans, and were perfectly happy to almost take food right off of your plate. We actually caught one stealing cheese out of our cooler. I kneeled down by the edge of the woods to wash some dishes after dinner and I swear one hissed at me from the brush. I looked up with my headlamp on and I could see it's little beady, glowing eyes. We'd walk to the bathroom and they would, literally, be criss-crossing the path ahead of us.

Before we turned in for the night, we decided to put any leftovers in the van rather than cooler. We awoke the next morning to see paw prints on the side of the van. The little bastards were trying to claw their way in.

I see now why the park's wildlife museum had some of the displays that it did.
